As a DIY Bride I decided to make my own wedding invitations. I originally bought those little dispensers sold at the local craft stores to paste a backing and my invitation cardstock into a pocketfold. BIG MISTAKE! After completing close to 70 invitations which took me hours I was horrified to see that the cardstock was not sticking to the pocketfold and all the invitations were falling apart. I was trying to "save" money with those little dispensers. I wish I would have originally bought this dispenser, the one that the manufacturer of my invitation paper recommends.

This dispenser is not cheap by any means but is is well worth it. As I write this I am re-doing all the invitations I had done before and they are sticking like a dream. It is so easy to use and I found a video online that shows you how to load the tape.

Do not waste your time with those little dispensers if you are working with high quality and heavy cardstock. This dispenser has been a God send for me.

I really like my ATG 700! This is probably my best purchase so far with my new hobby of making greeting cards and party favors. The only thing is that if you want to use 1/4" tape, you'll have to buy an adapter because the ATG I have only takes the 1/2" and 3/4" tapes.

I went through tons of those little adhesive cartridges before I took the leap and bought this. I should have done it years ago. It's fabulous, quick and it never misfires or breaks like the little cartridges. In everyway it's a great deal - from ease of use to cost.

It took me awhile to figure out how to load the ATG , but once I did I have been scrapbooking with no problem. Those small disposable adhesive dispensers are fine for small jobs and tight corners , but when you have chipboard, felt flowers or metal embelishments the ATG by Scotch gets the job done. I added some flowers to mine to make it craftroom worthy, but with the bright yellow I know I will never misplace it !

This is a heavy duty -overbuilt product. It works perfectly. 3KM has a history of making amazingly performing and superbly engineered devices out of plastic.

This product appears to be overkill for those used to the tiny adhesive dispensers. Don't let it fool you -- once you've gotten used to it (which only takes a time or two), you'll never go back to the "standard" size. If you only use one type of adhesive dispenser, make this the one!! A more than satisfied user.

This item is a real time-saver for anyone who makes paper products which require neat, smooth, permanent application of paper embellishments. With all the glues I tried, I would get visible ridges, especially if the paper being applied was not very heavy. With the Scotch applicator everything is dry, smooth and even. It gives professional results every time. A must for all scrap-bookers.

I use this tape gun all the time when putting together greeting cards, or scrapbook pages, easy to use and you get so much more tape than in the little tape dispensers that are sold in the craft stores. Love It.

While in school for Art, I worked in a custom framing shop where we used these guns to do everything from matting pictures, to setting up displays, and adhering backing to finished pieces. Somewhere along the line, I decided to buy my own- and on a student's salary, broke down and bought this exact model.

Fast forward 14 years, and it is still in perfect condition! I have no problems finding refills and have used it for many many projects- from my own personal art, to framing, gift wrapping, etc. Sometimes, I make up reasons to use it! I don't remember how much I paid for it in '96, but I do know it was a pretty penny, but worth every single cent. It's still going strong, in fact, I just bought some refills today (with Super Saver Shipping).

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality tool that you will use over and over for years to come!! I don't know if I'd say heirloom, but my daughter will be using this no doubt for her crafts and projects... and she's 8!

I really love this product. I am a scrapbooker and a cardmaker and this ATG gun works great for attaching large areas of paper or cardstock. The best part...no more sticky messy glue gun. I have no regrets in buying this product and I would recommend it to anyone who is unsure whether to buy it or not, you will not be dissapointed with this product.
